Former Disney Channel star Bella Thorne revealed she lost an acting job at age 10 after a casting director accused her of 'flirting with him.'
"I had a director give me feedback once and I was 10," the now 25-year-old actress shared. "The casting director calls my agent and the agent calls my mom, and they're like, 'So she's not moving forward because the director felt like she was flirting with him and it made him really uncomfortable,'" Thorne recalled.
"Also, you're in a director session," Thorne noted. "You can't really say or do much. You do the scene, you say 'hello,' you walk out. There's no time to like, 'Let me go sit on your lap or make you feel uncomfortable.' What the f--- are you talking about, man?" "I'm trying to find almost fault in myself," she said. "Like: 'What did you do, Bella? What did you do that made him feel like this? And every time I'm like, 'Bella, stop it.' Even that thought right there is becoming part of the problem … it drives me crazy."
But Thorne's difficult experiences as a young talent in the industry didn't stop there. At 14, she was almost fired by Disney while appearing on the show"One time I almost got fired off the Disney Channel because I was 14 and I wore a two-piece on the beach," she said. "This stylist that I was hanging out with put this chain on me that's like a body chain, I don't know. I don't care. There was a fan, they got a photo of me on the beach, I almost got fired.
